Housing & Dwellings in Richmond
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Nearly half of all homes in Richmond are owned outright, making it a place where stability is high. This is far above the national figure and reflects a community with a very strong level of home ownership. Most people live in large, separate houses, though rental prices remain higher than in most similar areas.
